The Occupational Health Service, was identified as one of the early starts under the Enterprising Council approach. There was a mixed model of delivery with occupational health nursing services undertaken in house by the occupational health nursing team and the remainder of the services, including the occupational health physician provision, delivered by external contractors. The counselling function also formed part of the occupational health service, however this function was not considered as part of the review, to be considered as part of the subsequent review of HR & OD. Page2 2 As well as supporting the wellbeing of employees, the occupational health service provided advice around many of the Council’s employment policies. It also played an essential role in the statutory requirement for the Council to have an appropriate level of resource to ensure the protection of the health and safety of the work force under the management of health and safety at work regulations. This resource did not however have to be provided directly by the council and could be commissioned. In parallel with this review of Occupational Health services, Derbyshire County Council’s Workplace Wellbeing Strategy was being developed to bring together all the wellbeing initiatives in place within the council, to highlight areas for development and to identify measures by which the impact of those initiatives could be assessed. The review of Occupational Health commenced with an analysis of the services currently provided, the delivery models in place and the funding and income of the service. Consultation took place with stakeholders including DCC managers, HR teams, Public Health, trade unions and schools who purchased occupational health services. Information had also been sought from other authorities by issuing questionnaires and by accessing the research already undertaken by East Midlands Councils. Further work had then been undertaken to look at potential benchmarking and any appropriate qualitative measures as well as exploring alternatives to the existing delivery model. The structure of the Occupational Health Service within the Council, its budget, costs, charging and income were detailed in the report, as well as for externally commissioned services, the largest external contract being for Occupational Health Physician Services. Consultation with various stakeholders was undertaken, with a summary of the key views and issues fed back to the review contained in the report. In summary, following consideration of the outcomes of the review, the key recommendations were as follows: 1. A comparison between the cost of the in-house service and the cost of sourcing the same service externally clearly indicated that the internal service was competitive. It was therefore recommended that the current mixed model of delivery was retained in the short term as there was little or no operational or financial benefit in either bringing the externally provided services in-house or in moving to an external supplier for the directly employed nursing service. The future structure and function of occupational health services would need to align with and form part of the wider review of the HR delivery model within the council ensuring that supported the Workplace Wellbeing Strategy. The most appropriate longer term delivery model was to be determined at that point.
